Hola Bitcholas,
My son has recently started quoting that greeting. Created a monster.
Ah, but that's not why I'm here. No, today we talked about 'what upset your tummy'... and yes, we said tummy... because it makes adults uncomfortable.
The inspiration for today's question deals with an oil spill in Israel. In case you're not connecting the dots, the oil spill has fouled the coastline in Israel and affected the local sea turtle population. The turtles are covered in oil and tar so, in addition to scrubbing them clean, volunteers also needed to 'clean the turtle's digestive tracts'...a.k.a., make them poop.
How does one make a turtle poop? Ah, a question as old as time itself... but they have an answer.
Mayonnaise.
Yup, mayonnaise makes turtles poop. I did not know this nor would I have guessed it if asked, but here we are, flush in the knowledge that mayonnaise makes turtles sh*t.
After a pointless- yet- serious discussion about mayonnaise- pooping turtles, we go into a long conversation about all of the different things that make us poop. And THAT, friends, is what led to the question of the day.
And if you're curious, that is, generally, how we arrive at a 'Question of the Day'; find ourselves intrigued by something wholly unimportant realize we're talking about it at length in the office and then create a question around it.
Now you know... which proves that knowledge is NOT always power.
